I am thinking about moving one of my wordpress blogs away from dreamhost, wonder if I should host it on Host Gator, what do you think of their VPS hosting ?

Thank you

I quite like hostgator. Fatcow and WPWebhost are also good for blogs.

Hostgator is best, because you can add IPs and they ain't to expensive.

Fatcow and WPWebhost only have 1 IP.

Hostgator, the answer is no. Check out www.amerinoc.com instead.

Thank you

depends on how many blogs...

i am moving all my blogs from HG vps to liquid web dedicated servers...

https://www.liquidweb.com/cart/conte...pertownSpecial

with 8 gigs of ram and cpanel.. $289 per month...

i was putting 50 sites per vps account.. it was ok, but now i am putting 200 sites on each dedicated box..

i am hoping this helps site speed..

wp sites with lots of plugins are hogs..

i will let you know how it works out...

I will be blunt. Why move from one shit place to another?

Hosting is very competitive these days. There are quite a few great companies that offer virtual accounts for very reasonable prices and dedicated servers as well.

Every time I deal with Host Gator I want to run my fingernails across a chalkboard.

Is it their customers service or reliability. Dream host has excellent customer service, but their servers suck, more down time than I can count. How does HG handles their tickets ?

st0ned · 03-23-2010, 06:57 PM

I have dedicated servers amongst many hosts but do use Host Gator from time to time for little sites. Use the coupon "CHEAPHOSTING" to get the first month for $0.01.

HG, customer support.

hg > dh all day long. both are shitty but hg is the lesser shitty host... sorta

phatservers is the same price point for what you need and much better.

I had a host gator box for a bit and it served its purpose.

blonda80 · 03-23-2010, 10:18 PM

i use hostgator and i like it

Bird · 03-23-2010, 10:57 PM

It's awesome fore the price. They are solid. Only thing is no ffmpeg support.

HostGator does have ffmpeg support. I have a VPS and a couple dedi box's with them and have never had any issues..

chaze · 03-24-2010, 01:28 AM

That's just one over stuffed server hosting to another. Go with a faster more reliable host like www.dwhs.net

Why do you say that... been using Phat for years... haven't used there virtual plans in a long time but they were just as solid as there dedicated back then!

halfpint · 03-24-2010, 05:13 AM

I have used hostgator for the last 2-3 years now and I have never had a problem with them so I really dont know why you guys are saying hostgator are shit.
They always answer support messages and have 24 hour live support which I have used on a number of occasions even though it was my fuckup they still sorted the problem out for me.
The bottom line is if you are looking for a cheap host then Hostgator are good

I have to agree. I have some generic traffic generating stuff up on their shared servers and in the past 4 years I haven't had any major downtime (I am knocking on wood like a mofo right now) other than when some of their DNS servers went offline and made a mess for about 48 hours 2 years ago.

Would I use them for major sites that generate a ton of income? Hell no. That is when you move the domain to a private box. But if you're generating income you need to step away from the Lada and park your ass in a Mercedes... That is just common sense.

bufferover · 03-24-2010, 06:19 AM

By far i have positive experience with Host Gator

seeandsee · 03-24-2010, 08:15 AM

anything else that you need to pay :D

alias · 03-24-2010, 11:33 AM

Hostgator support might be lacking for stuff like DNS zone edits etc, but if you know what you want done they can do it. I use them as well as some dedicated boxes, and recently added a gotwebhost virtual.
